As long as you buy a rim with atleast 4.5" of backspacing your good, you could probably go with 4.25" or 4" but that will make the tire stick out past the wheel flares that much more and probably isnt neccessary.

do you have lots of clearance at your front sway bar and rear lower control arms? im trying to dtermine the right offset for my 33 13.5's on a 9 inch wide rim. i want to keep my tires as far in as possible.
